Just as baseball season hits its stride, basketball heats up and the global soccer spotlight begins to shine brighter, DIRECTV is stepping into the future of entertainment. With its debut on Meta Quest headsets, DIRECTV is bringing live TV, sports, movies and on-demand favorites into a virtual reality experience.
As the first MVPD (multichannel video programming distributor) to launch on the Meta Quest headsets, DIRECTV is expanding how-and where-people watch TV. Instead of being tied to a traditional screen, viewers can step into a virtual space and enjoy their favorite content in a more immersive way.
